IDS_MON_PROPERTY_NAME_IN_VIEW

IDS_MON_PROPERTY_NAME_IN_VIEW is a schema mutation conflict: the property name is already part of a view contract and cannot be redefined in the requested way. It is not a row-level failure and does not indicate that an indexed file has duplicate metadata.

Audit schema changes and deployment order

Record the property and view definitions applied by the current application version.
Check whether an upgrade attempts to redefine a property before replacing or migrating a legacy view that still references it.
Make schema initialization idempotent; query execution code should not repeatedly issue property-definition commands.

For current Windows Search applications, prefer registered canonical properties and direct SystemIndex queries. The modern SELECT model treats properties as schema columns and returns NULL for a valid property missing from an item. A legacy view/property namespace conflict must be fixed in schema management or migration logic, not by recrawling files.
